Sunset in Lake Tahoe Tonight | Photo Tour

tahoe

Lake Tahoe put on a show tonight. The coming storm sped up winds and created layered lenticular clouds. They hovered above the lake at dusk and reflected the reds, oranges, and pinks of the evening sun. From a pier Tahoe City, California the show was stunning. Both East and West light up. The only thing lacking in tonights sunset was snow. There is absolutely no snow in Tahoe right now. It is still early, but Tahoe looks naked. She looked great naked tonight, but tomorrow, we want to see her dressed in white. [โ€ฆ]

Turnagain Arm, Alaska Sunset

A fantastic sunset on Turnagain Arm on the way to Girdwood, Alaska in the unreal Alaska spring of 2012.  People will talk about Spring 2012 as the spring with no clouds in Alaska, which never happens.  It was clear most everyday for all March and April, making for enormous amounts of days on snow.
